Pain

[Intro: 2Pac]

A lot of people - black, white, Mexican

Young or old, fat or skinny

Have a problem being true to theyself

They have a problem looking into the mirror

And looking directly into their own soul

That's the reason I am who I am today

Cause I can look directly in my face and find my soul

[Verse: Fabolous]

I’m old enough to know better, young enough to not give a fuck

Rather hold my head high and die than live and duck

If you’re cool being taken down and giving up

Your lifestyle’s a blow job, the way you’re living sucks!

I done felt pain, waited but no help came

Went through some crazy shit still kept myself sane

You ever been dying of thirst and smelt rain

Ever been told “go to hell” and felt flames

The water’s to your neck and only gets deeper

Its all down hill and it only gets steeper

Gotta get over it, be a hurdle leaper

It cost to be the boss, and it ain't get no cheaper

But there’s a man above that we all under bro

No bread truck but he work wonders though!

After you wake up, everything is wonderful

You can overcome anything you undergo

As an artist I’m just tryna paint the perfect picture

But see where tryna wait for somebody thats perfect gets you

That usually lead to nothing like virgin kisses

And I be tryna cut, surgeon bitches

Dreams of splurging riches, pretty but curvy missus

Chef to serve the dishes, driver to swerve the ditches

I’m just another kid on the curb with wishes

And the streets is tough, on the verge of viscious

So I sold weed and crack, merged the business

That white girl helped a nigga, Fergalicious

But getting money bring jealousy and verbal disses

So when you killing shit watch out for the murder witness

An old head told me "let nothing disturb your business"

Beef is only good when you in the burger business

So I chilled, but loaded up the steel

Like I wish a nigga would, but I know a nigga will

But for real you loaded up to kill

Cause soon as a nigga could the sooner a nigga will

And I don’t owe these niggas nothing

Put that in a nigga will
